Patent number: 10606467Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to fidelity management of an exemplary notecard item based on action(s) for movement that may re-locate notecard item(s) across any of: different content portions of a digital document, different digital documents of an application/service and digital documents of different applications/services. Specific data (and metadata) is collected and analyzed to enable determination of a level of fidelity for rendering of a notecard item, where a representation of a notecard item is generated to fit a context of a digital document in which the notecard item is being placed. A representation of a notecard item may be rendered at a first level of fidelity in one context but a different level of fidelity when the notecard item is moved to a different context. In other instances, evaluation of a notecard item yields a determination to maintain fidelity after an action that re-locates a notecard item.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yibing Zhu, Theresa Estrada, Derik B.

Patent number: 10402487Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure relate to creation and management of exemplary notecard items that are reusable in different contexts and across different applications/services. Exemplary notecard items may be created and presented through a user interface of an application/service. A notecard item is individual, self-contained digital data object that provides content to supplement a digital document. Exemplary notecard items live outside of an application/service, in which the notecard item is created or used, where a notecard item may be linked to a digital document but also exists as a separate object. For instance, an exemplary notecard file may be created for management of a created notecard item, where the notecard file is stored in one or more data storages (e.g., a local cache of a computing device and/or a distributed data storage) that is accessible by applications/services.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Keith Fournier, II, Derik B.

Publication number: 20190220537Abstract: Context from a content creation application is used to focus both on the types of files and the types of content searched by a search application, as well as the type of results provided to the content creation application for use by the user, instead of simply improving relevancy of a result. A query of structured, contextual information can be formulated based on the discernable intent and context information provided with the request. Queries are sent to search applications to search appropriate file types and/or content types. Context-sensitive results returned from the search application(s) can be grouped by performing a clustering process according to semantic similarity in order to group the context-sensitive results into groups, and selected ones of the context-sensitive results can be provided to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2018Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventors: Bernhard S.
